Chickpea Sandwich Salad

1. 1

   Drain the garbanzo beans and rinse them under running water in a colander; let drain.

2. 2

   In a flat-bottomed dish or pan and using a potato masher, mash them to whatever consistency you prefer (using a food processor or blender makes the texture more fine and similar to hummus, but you can try it that way if you like).

3. 3

   I like mine kind of chunky.

4. 4

   In a bowl, combine the garbanzo beans with remaining ingredients and mix well.

5. 5

   Spread on your favorite bread or in pita pockets and enjoy!

6. 6

   (Or you can just eat it out of the bowl with a spoon.

7. 7

   ).

8. 8

   Note from Julie: I prefer dill relish over sweet, any day.

9. 9

   ;) Other possible additions include chopped celery and/or cucumber, paprika, a couple drops of balsamic vinegar, and perhaps a little cumin (although that will make it more hummus-like).
